Rush hour sneaks up again 

The only time she's sitting still 

In another day of black book plans 

Every waking moment's filled 

Behind her the sun begins to set 

Closer than it appears 

Spraying wisps of blue and red 

Across her rear-view mirror 



But she won't know what she has missed 

And soon the moment's passed 

When we will we realize 

We're living life too fast? 



There's so much beauty in the world 

How do we miss it 

How do we miss it 



Another night he spends alone 

As he works his way towards middle age 

Each night he brings the office home 

His family sees him slip away 

Out in the hallway stands a child 

Watching her father from the door 

If only he stopped to catch her smile 

He'd remember who all of this was for 



But he won't know what he has missed 

And soon the moment's passed 

When we will we realize 

We're living life too fast? 



There's so much beauty in the world 

How do we miss it 

How do we miss it
